Dani Hagan – Like That

“Like That” is the latest song by Dani Hagan, an outstanding singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. It’s her fourth piece of work this year, arriving as an adequate follow-up of “Deeper,” “I’m Jolene,” and “La Perla,” three excellent compositions released earlier this year that you should also check out. However, her latest song arrives with many innovations in songwriting, composing, arranging, and producing. Lyrically, “Like That” talks about unrequited love, a highly relatable theme that will unquestionably resonate with the broader auditorium. Soundwise, Dani Hagan combines a singer-songwriter approach with many different but complementary music genres. Perhaps alternative rock comes to mind first, but you’ll notice how some of the finest properties of indie rock, hard rock, rock ‘n’ roll, soul, and blues lurk around throughout the entire track. She uses all these additional elements as more than necessary enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other sonic maneuvers to elevate her latest composition to new heights while simultaneously remaining loyal to the primary sonic direction. Therefore, these experimentations with many different but complementary styles will unquestionably appeal to all rock music enthusiasts and beyond. It’s one of those catchy, engaging, memorable songs that grabs you by the collar and refuses to let you go long after the song ends.

With the initial notes and beats, you’ll notice how much time, ideas, and effort Dani Hagan invested in this fine piece of sonic artistry. “Like That” arrives with a perfect structure, garnered with many profoundly detailed segments, brilliant ideas, and impressive orchestration. Every note and beat has its place and purpose, making this song such a pleasant listening experience. Still, the passionate, sincere, confident, and powerful vocal performance steals the show here. Her impressive vocal range seamlessly balances low, mid, and high notes, emphasizing all the segments and orchestrations with such precision and finesse. She commands attention and guides listeners from scratch to finish by decorating everything she tried to achieve with this song. At this point, Hagan’s voice articulates as an additional instrument, elevating the entire composition on an entirely new level while simultaneously providing an emotional depth that “Like That” unquestionably needs. These vocal harmonies and deliverance showcase all her talent, skills, knowledge, and experience. In the meantime, the guitar works serve as a perfect backdrop for all the vocal articulations to shine upon. The carefully assembled chord progressions and riffs offer rawness, abrasiveness, and aggression, serving as a perfect contrast to Hagan’s clean vocal performance. The additional nuances, details, accentuations, and leads spice things up, offering even more intricacies over an already complex structure. Together, these guitars and vocal harmonies deliver a soulful, bluesy performance that will convince even the pickiest listeners to sping this rock ‘n’ roll gem all over again.

Of course, this track wouldn’t sound this powerful without the rock-solid rhythm section. You’ll hear how the equally complex, vividly hearable, warm-sounding low-ends rumble beneath all those luxurious guitar layers, providing more than necessary heaviness, clarity, and depth while binding all the instrumentations with drums. The moderate, tastefully assembled, well-accentuated, flawlessly performed beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics keep everything in line while dictating the groove and pace. If the guitars act as a perfect backdrop or all the vocals to shine upon, then the rhythm section serves as a backbone, holding everything together. As you can see, Dani Hagan thought about everything while writing, composing, arranging, and producing her latest track. With “Like That,” Dani Hagan proves that alternative rock music still has so much to offer. She poured heart and soul into this fine piece of sonic artistry, resulting in one of the best rock tracks this year. It’s a perfect song that will immediately end up on your rock playlist. “Like That” is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
